Pain around pacemaker site

I am just over two months from having my pacemaker put in. I woke up one night with a burning sensation by my incision area plus a horrible feeling of my skin feeling tight. My doctor said my incision was still warm and swollen so continued my restrictions. My burning sensation is getting worse, literally wakes me up at night. Can’t get comfortable to fall asleep and to put on a bra, FORGET IT. My doctor thinks it is going to take me longer to heal due to my fibromyalgia. Anyone else have any recommendations, I literally think about the pain and bringing all day! I go see my cardiologist next week.

Sounds like you’ve got an infection. Did they give you antibiotics? You know your own body, keep at it to get some answers. You are your own best advocate.
